Please do share this opportunity far and wide - there's lots of scope for the successful candidate to take this studentship in the direction that interests them the most

I am *extremely* excited about this. Please share with anyone who might be keen: we're offering a FULLY FUNDED PhD studentship, exploring:
Colonial Natural Historical Collecting in the South Asian Indian Ocean.
There are some important stories to tell here

this is NOT a research assistant role - it is effectively palming off the teaching prep to a temporary postholder, which will then inevitably be handed off to another temporary teaching fellow to deliver?

I'll be leading the workshop on early modern colonial history, so if you want to know more about our colonial office records, do consider signing up!
